It should be interesting to see how the judges act on the show tonight .

It's my opinion that they don't care who wins ... and never have. The show is about the show itself, and whatever it takes to get the ratings (and the advertising revenue) is what they will go for. I thought last season was one of the best ever, but this season I think the show has finally jumped the shark for me.

It has for me.I really dont think any of them are going to be really big stars. So, like the show,I dont care who wins either.

The whole thing last week with Jessica being on the bottom and it being such a surprise was absolute crap, imho. TMZ had leaked it earlier in the day, everyone knew who the person in the bottom was. It was no shock to anyone, they only pretended it was, and showed just how bad they all are at acting.

I hope Jessica goes home this week. She will not win if she stays. She has a great voice, but she is so stiff and visibly uncomfortable on stage and with the other contestants. She needs a few years of experience and growing up to be able to handle the business and attention.

And I hope the judges soon realize that this isn't about the best singer, it's about the favorite total package, which Jessica is not. It's a popularity contest, anything that allows everyone to vote is, and they used to know that. The judges used to say exactly that in previous years. I prefer Simon's snarkiness and Paula's crazy to what we have now. And Randy, he rarely has an opinion of his own, he just goes along with what everyone else does, which is why he seems to have completely forgotten what he himself used to say (when Simon and Paula said it as well), about this being a popularity contest and not about only having the best voice.

Well said and I completely agree with what you have said. I wonder what the drama will be tonight? I already know that this will be the last season for me. They have turned this whole show into a complete circus. It no longer is about the contestants - it is all about Jennifer, Steven, Randy and Ryan. I still don't know how the contestants can even perform after what happened. They were basically told that Jessica was the best singer. Just imagine how they must feel. I know if it was me I would find it extremely hard because how can you beat their best? You already gave the reasons why Jessica should not win this season. I personally would never buy her music.

I also would just like to say RIP Dick Clark. He was so much a part of my life growing up.
